Applying Voltaren Patches Correctly and Safely

Clean and dry the affected area before applying the patch. Ensure the skin is free from lotions or creams.

Peel the backing from the patch, avoiding touching the adhesive side. This prevents contamination and ensures proper adhesion.

Apply the patch directly to the painful area. Press firmly for at least 30 seconds to ensure good contact with the skin.

Only use one patch at a time. Do not apply multiple patches to the same area.

Replace the patch once daily. Remove the used patch gently and dispose of it properly. Avoid reusing patches.

Avoid applying the patch to broken or irritated skin. Also avoid applying to areas with hair, as this can reduce adhesion.

If skin irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Symptoms may include redness, itching, or swelling.
